Holz Rubber Company petitioned for removal of an order joining it as a defendant, arguing the claim was against another entity and joinder was barred by statute of limitations. The Appeals Board denied the petition, emphasizing removal is an extraordinary remedy requiring a showing of substantial prejudice or irreparable harm. Defendant did not demonstrate such harm, only that it would incur defense costs for a claim it deems meritless.
